This was announced last week, but it’s still new enough, and will last long enough, that I consider it breaking news.

The White House has an initiative called TechHire, which is designed “to empower unemployed, job-seeking Americans to get the programming and IT skills they need to begin and sustain well-paying careers in technology.”

I knew that Pluralsight went to the White House in August (see pic below) and has been in talks with the White House and the TechHire initiative… now they are announcing what the $20M is going towards: free accounts, with 50 specific courses, for unemployed in the U.S. 5 of the 50 courses are mine. Remember, when you watch a Jason Alba course on Pluralsight you can get another one week upgrade on JibberJobber! (details here)

The great thing about the 50 courses is that they are courses to help someone get up and running as a techie. You don’t need any technical experience, just a desire to learn.

Below is the list of courses… the five highlighted, at the top, are mine (and each qualify for another week of premium JibberJobber). What I love about this list, as well as the rest of the Pluralsight library, is that I can say that these courses are taught be some amazing, talented people!
